Bubbles in nail polish

I have noticed that quite often when I paint my nails (I'm talking about just polish, not enhancements), I get tiny air bubbles in the polish on my nail. Why does this happen? I wondered if it was maybe because the polish isn't completely dry when I put my top coat on??

Like Marion wrote, you need to roll the bottle between your hands before use. If you shake it, it will cause a million tiny bubbles! And even though you might not see them, they're there and they will most probably surface while polish is drying.

1. As already said, don´t shake but roll polish bottle to gently mix.
2. Ensure you have properly cleaned and degreased nail plate before
applying enamel. Remind client not to touch their hair or face during
mani as this reintroduces grease and oil.
3. Don´t apply the enamel too thickly as drying between layers can
be difficult and bubbles can develop.
4. The quality of the nail enamel is essential. This is something I
found out through the experienced geeks on this site and I have
have to say that I agree.
